Web Content Monetization
Generating revenue from digital content using standardized payment protocols.
What is Web Content Monetization?
Web content monetization involves generating revenue from online resources, such as articles, videos, or data, through digital asset payments. The x402 protocol enhances this by standardizing HTTP 402 responses, allowing content creators to charge for access programmatically. For instance, websites can issue micropayments for bots or agents accessing premium content, like pay-per-crawl models or per-session fees, enabling flexible monetization without requiring subscriptions or manual payment processes.
